Negotiating with God - Gen. 18

This week, God appears! Two angels and God Himself appear to Abraham at his tent, eat with him, make promises to him, and invite him into the divine council to participate in the judgment of Sodom.Why does God look like a human? Does this kind of appearance happen as we move forward in the story? Is this a Christophany (appearance of Christ)? And why does Abraham get to negotiate with God about how to judge Sodom? All that and more this week!Hosted by John McCambridge and Jackie Mitchell.---Story / Symbol / Spirit is a podcast about how to make sense of Scripture. The Bible is a beautiful gift from God with the power to help us know God and better understand our lives, identity, meaning, and purpose. But for many people, reading the Bible is difficult. The ancient and confusing nature of the stories within the Bible are often prohibitive to our engagement and learning. How can we make sense of the Scriptures?We believe that Story / Symbol / Spirit is a helpful framework to begin this journey.
